The weather started getting rough,
the tiny ship was tossed.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew,
the Minnow would be lost.
The Minnow would be lost.
The skipper said to Gilligan,
Who sat there looking dim,
"We're gonna die if we don't
Reach calm water fast."
"Beach palm water flask?"
"No, "Reach calm water fast.'"
"Ay-aye, skipper."
zBrown water, keep on rollin'.

I lost a shoe
And then I lost my glove
And THEN I lost my mind.By the time I found my thumb
I was in Phoenix.
I can't remember the last time I saw that lace.

Exceedingly Scenic
I witnessed some of the true spirit of Christmas
among the streeties here
along Main St. and M St.,
16th St. and the city's sidewalks,
the kids selling "trees"
and small dogs sitting in strollers,
the proud-striding runners with buds in their ears,
and a beautiful lady brushing
her long graying hair,
smiling a toothless smile;
a madman cursing the darkness and the light
equally at this time of solstice,
no solace for him that the days grow longer;
women dancing and laughing with shadows,
lost people huddled in groups,
banding together like a tribe
but arguing like a family;
sack hounds sawing logs and warmed by dogs
surrounded by a midden in the making,
like men have for millennia
and always will;
all present,
some even accounted for,
yet all listed by Santa somehow;
some the salt of the earth,
some just saltier than the rest,
and all with the creek running through it,
blessing every one of us
with its brownish mountain-born tears,
gluten-free,
low-fat,
and low sodium.

2016 was pretty good to me.
I hope 2017 is better than that to you all, Taco.

How the Planets Came To Be Gnamed.Min "I say we name him after you."
Mars "My dear, I really prefer Pluto."
Min "Your dog's name? You're such a nut!"
Mars "And you're not?"
Joy reigned and the planets gathered.

Digging through the Jim Shirley files.
Run-on on Sense
I exist in a stream of conscious thought
which runs deep under fertile ground,
abundant with imagery,
not counter to the flow,
bursting forth in froth and noise,
slaking the thirst
of traveling caravans
and the animals
of the wilderness.
